Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox only caught one pass on one target for five yards in a narrow loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was Buffalo's primary tight end with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined. Knox and running back James Cook were the only Bills starters who did not benefit from a 42-point Buffalo bonanza. Knox hasn't been getting many looks despite Kincaid's extended three-game absence. Kincaid should be nearing a return. Knox should not be started next week against a rugged Detroit defense.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. His score came from 21 yards away midway through the fourth quarter. Hollins' playing time has increased with Keon Coleman (wrist) out of the lineup and he's now found paydirt two games in a row. However, there's little consistency in his usage with several players ahead of him in the target pecking order. Coleman is nearing a return, which would send Hollins to the sidelines more often. He does not need to be added to fantasy football rosters.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught six passes for 95 yards in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran was targeted a team-high 14 times in what was ultimately his busiest game as a member of the Bills. It's encouraging to see Cooper's usage increase as he gets more comfortable with the Buffalo offense and his wrist ailment heals. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who started Cooper, Josh Allen's three passing touchdowns went to Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, and Ty Johnson. Cooper and the rest of the Bills travel to face the Detroit Lions in Week 15.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught five passes for 106 yards and one touchdown in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Shakir led the Bills in receiving yards. His total was one yard shy of his season-high mark. Shakir's touchdown came deep in the third quarter when the slot receiver took a short completion and sprinted past defenders for 51 yards. It was his first score since Week 3. He later caught a 34-yard pass to the Rams' one-yard line. Shakir will be in the flex conversation again when the Bills travel to Detroit next week.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed six times for 20 yards and caught two passes for nine yards in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 25-year-old was bottled up on his first few carries and then the Bills fell behind by multiple scores, limiting his touches. Cook's 29 yards was his second-worst yardage total of the season, only trailing the Kansas City game. In that game, he scored twice. That wasn't the case against the Rams. Therefore, it was Cook's worst fantasy output of the season. Cook faces a tough Detroit Lions run defense in Week 15.
